our Lord Jesus Christ and to His authority over our lives.(Col 2:9-11, Eph 6:7-8)

WhyJesus

In today’s society and over all of history
there is one word, one name, that no matter how it is said, is
offensive.

Most people in the world believe that there is a God, that there is a
higher being of some kind, something, a creator, so when "God" is
thanked, praised, or worshipped, for the most part society is ok with
this, but when a certain name is mentioned, people often become very
upset. This name, that word, is Jesus Christ.

Have you ever asked any of the questions…“Why should I follow Jesus? Why would I? Who is He anyway…?” I asked these exact questions too at one time in my life…

The answer is simple. The reality of it all is, God loves YOU.
He wants you to experience abundant peace and eternal life. He
loves you so much that He sacrificed His only son to die for your sins.

“So…that’s great that God loves me, but why should I follow Him?”

God did not make robots to automatically love and obey Him. He gave
you free will and a choice. All too often, this free will causes a
separation from God due to disobedience.

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious
standard.- Romans 3:23

TheSolution

I’ve often thought about “free will”…and why if God is all
powerful, why didn’t he just create us to worship Him as He desires?
However, that just doesn’t make sense. What good is someone’s love
if they are forced and made to love you…? It means something when
someone chooses to love you, when someone makes a choice and loves you
for who you are, what you are, and no matter what you’ve done.
This is the depth of Christ’s love for us and for all mankind.

The good news is that YOU matter to God. He’s given an avenue for
forgiveness where you can restore your relationship with Him. He gave
His son Jesus to pay the death penalty by sending Him to the cross and
raising Him from the grave.

Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned,but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God.
- 1 Peter 3:18

So,What do I do now

It’s not enough to just know about this, or even agree with it.
Even Satan and his angels believe in God. They were actually
with God at one time. You have to act on it. Truly believe
in Him and His Son.

Humbly admit to God that you need His forgiveness

Confess that Jesus is Lord and that He alone can save you

Believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead to pay for your sins

If you confess with your
mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heartthat God raised him
from the dead, you will be saved.
- Romans 10:9
